The only people objecting to it are the ones who want to gag anyone who holds a different opinion to them.
To me,that indicates that they know their position is untenable and will not stand up under scrutiny.

@thibault put another one up! 🙃
@laatikko Cutting down on anything is the definition of crazy. I didn't say absolutely free market, you are being obtuse. Just in general, less regulation is good whenever possible. For example, cutting down on regulations for building nuclear power plants would be a better solution than taxing people and telling them what they can buy. Also, social problems are not the government's responsibility unless the government is the cause of the social problem through bad regulation which is the case most of the time.
@testaccount42 "Cutting down on anything is the definition of crazy"? Obviously you didn't mean this, so what did you mean?
" you are being obtuse"- no, you said "free market" and I showed there's no such thing, hence the usage of the term you're proposing is vague and unclear, and hense to propose it as a solution to a concrete problem is nonsense.
"social problems are not the government's responsibility unless the government is the cause of the social problem through bad regulation" -- and what is the regulation for if not for solving social problems?
What is the government for if not to solve social problems?

Is there a way to remove the ads in lichess? Specifically, if you become a paying member, do the banners go away?
I still think this "ad" was unneccesary bullshit.
@elrond no there isn't. They advertise on their donations page that the site will not have any ads, ever. There is also a page which shows the differences between those who donate and those who do not. Both say there will be no ads. This simply isn't true. This website is horridly duplicitous.

Seriously, I don't understand why so many people went apes**t over this sole non recurring banner... We've all been able to play chess on this website; free of any charge for many years. If developers feel it necessary to inform people about real-life important issues, users should get along with it. Unhappy people should move to other chess websites with user-targeted ad for penis enlargment
